jillo, I don't know...........I love the book and the movie, and all I saw was basicly a teen having a hard time growing up. Especially since the '60's was a time of major rebellion! It really didn't seem that she had that.

Well, we all see different things in a movie based on our own perspective. I can tell you, however, that I know a professor who uses this movie in her clinical undergraduate classes as an example of BPD. And she is also a praacticing clinical psychologist, as well as an associate prof. And I used clips from the movie in one of my master's level classes as an example of exitential therapy applied to BPD and got an A on the presentation. But then, I am in the habit of looking at movies like this from a clinical perspective. That's not to say that your interpretation is wrong, or that mine is right. We just approach it from different persectives.
